REVIEWS:
John O reviewed reading the 'Handmaid's Tale' as it held up well & is recommended, & reviewed 'Man in the High Castle' as it is also a good read & the TV adaptation is good, also recommended & reviewed 'Fluffies Revolution' a freebie on Kindle was, yes, a fluffy fun read & that MacCaffrey's 'Gift of Dragons' is worth picking up as an e-book
Fred commented that the first mention he is aware of cold brew appearing in is Cory Doctorow's book 'Homeland'
Trey reviewed a collection of Liad stories by Miller & Lee, 'Constellations of Liad, volume 4' as entertaining and recommended
